Up for grabs is a classic Bronze Age copy of Star Wars #18 (1978) from Marvel Comics Group. This issue features the classic story "The Empire Strikes!" with dynamic cover and interior artwork by Carmine Infantino and Bob Wiacek.

​This specific copy is the collectible Blank UPC Box Variant, typically distributed in Whitman multi-packs during the late 1970s rather than standard newsstand rotations.

​Condition & Grading

​Estimated Grade: 2.5 to 3.0 (GD to GD/VG)

​Condition Notes: The front cover presents with decent color and moderate spine wear, but please note that the back cover has a significant triangular piece missing/torn out along the spine edge (clearly visible in the final photo). This is a affordable filler/reader copy of a classic Bronze Age book.

​Professional Disclaimer: Please note that I am not a professional grader. High-resolution photos of the actual book are provided so you can examine its condition closely and make your own determination before purchasing.
